Hi - probably my first comment after lurking here for a few weeks. Is there anything that a user type (I'm not a developer in any sense) can do in this area?
I'm afraid they nearly all involve patching Wine, so not with this set of suggestions no.
I run Windows and have lots of apps I want to run under Wine. I've been entering info as I figue it out in the Wine bug database, but so far that isn't helping me get my programs running.
Right. Unfortunately finding bugs isn't too hard, it's fixing them that's the hard part.
I've wondered a number of times about installing Windows programs under Windows and extracting all of the changed registry entries and then reporting them somehow.
Is this possible?
It is possible. It is unlikely to help in most cases.
I'm not sure the apps I want to run are the ones you all would all 'common', but they are common to follks doing audio work. (recording, writing, etc.) In the end would this be helpful?
Sure, if you figure out how to make apps work feel free to post information somewhere explaining how, or you could write a little script to automate it as has been done with IE.
